Simple Footprints Etude No. 2 by Behn Gillece

behng 7 November 2024

Building on the previous etude, this new version expands the lines and incorporates additional chord adjustments to deepen the harmonic exploration in 3/4. By introducing extra melodic lines and refining the chord changes, this etude offers a richer harmonic texture while staying within a straightforward 3/4 groove. It challenges the player to navigate slightly more complex progressions, encouraging a deeper understanding of how to shape melodic ideas within the time signature.

Simple Footprints Etude No. 1 by Behn Gillece

behng 1 November 2024

One of my students has been working on "Footprints" and wanted to explore playing in 3/4 time. To help, I put together a simple etude focused on adapting familiar patterns to fit 3/4. What I like about this approach is that it lets you apply a straightforward line throughout the tune, and it flows well in 3/4. There are a few places where I adjusted the line slightly to better match the chords. Also, keep in mind that these changes are a bit simpler than the original ones, but they’re still widely used by many players—dating back to an old real book version!

Here's what you do. Don't look at the files that say 'dont-look' download the other ones first. Take the sheet music and add your voicings to stella. Learn and and play and hopefully post it here. 

After that and ONLY after that, download the don't look files and see what voicings I used. Check out what's similar and what's different. Let me know how you do and what you think.
